UAV collective motion has become a hot research topic in recent years. The realization of UAV collective motion, however, relied heavily on centralized control method and suffered from instability. Inspired by bird flocking theory, a control strategy for UAV collective motion with distributed measure and control methods was proposed in this study. In order to appropriately adjust the inter-agent distance suitable for realization, the control law based on bird flocking theory was optimized, and the convergence of velocities and collision avoidance properties were presented through simulation results. Furthermore, the stable collective motion of two UAVs using visual relative information only with proposed strategy in both indoor and outdoor GPS-denied environments were realized.

A multi-agent system designed to achieve distance-based shape control with flocking behavior can be seen as a mechanical system described by a Lagrangian function and subject to additional external forces. Forced variational integrators are given by
the discretization of Lagrange-dAlembert principle for systems subject to external forces, and have proved useful for numerical simulation studies of complex dynamical systems. We derive forced variational integrators that can be employed in the context of control algorithms for distance-based shape with velocity consensus. In particular, we provide an accurate numerical integrator with a lower computational cost than traditional solutions, while preserving the configuration space and symmetries. We also provide an explicit expression for the integration scheme in the case of an arbitrary number of agents with double integrator dynamics. For a numerical comparison of the performances, we use a planar formation consisting of three autonomous agents.
In adaptive sliding mode control methods, an updating gain strategy associated with finite-time convergence to the sliding set is essential to deal with matched bounded perturbations with unknown upper-bound. However, the estimation of the finite tim
e of any adaptive design is a complicated task since it depends not only on the upper-bound of unknown perturbation but also on the size of initial conditions. This brief proposes a uniform adaptive reaching phase strategy (ARPS) within a predefined reaching-time. Moreover, as a case of study, the barrier function approach is extended for perturbed MIMO systems with uncertain control matrix. The usage of proposed ARPS in the MIMO case solves simultaneously two issues: giving a uniform reaching phase with a predefined reaching-time and adapting to the perturbation norm while in a predefined vicinity of the sliding manifold.
In this paper we present a multi-rate control architecture for safety critical systems. We consider a high level planner and a low level controller which operate at different frequencies. This multi-rate behavior is described by a piecewise nonlinear
model which evolves on a continuous and a discrete level. First, we present sufficient conditions which guarantee recursive constraint satisfaction for the closed-loop system. Afterwards, we propose a control design methodology which leverages Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) for low level control and Model Predictive Control (MPC) policies for high level planning. The control barrier function is designed using the full nonlinear dynamical model and the MPC is based on a simplified planning model. When the nonlinear system is control affine and the high level planning model is linear, the control actions are computed by solving convex optimization problems at each level of the hierarchy. Finally, we show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy on a simulation example, where the low level control action is updated at a higher frequency than the high level command.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play an increasingly important role in military, public, and civilian applications, where providing connectivity to UAVs is crucial for its real-time control, video streaming, and data collection. Considering that cell
ular networks offer wide area, high speed, and secure wireless connectivity, cellular-connected UAVs have been considered as an appealing solution to provide UAV connectivity with enhanced reliability, coverage, throughput, and security. Due to the nature of UAVs mobility, the throughput, reliability and End-to-End (E2E) delay of UAVs communication under various flight heights, video resolutions, and transmission frequencies remain unknown. To evaluate these parameters, we develop a cellular-connected UAV testbed based on the Long Term Evolution (LTE) network with its uplink video transmission and downlink control&command (CC) transmission. We also design algorithms for sending control signal and controlling UAV. The indoor experimental results provide fundamental insights for the cellular-connected UAV system design from the perspective of transmission frequency, adaptability, and link outage, respectively.
The problem of motion planning for affine control systems consists of designing control inputs that drive a system from a well-defined initial to final states in a desired amount of time. For control systems with drift, however, understanding which f
inal states are reachable in a given time, or reciprocally the amount of time needed to reach a final state, is often the most difficult part of the problem. We address this issue in this paper and introduce a new method to solve motion planning problems for affine control systems, where the motion desired can have indefinite boundary conditions and the time required to perform the motion is free. The method extends on our earlier work on motion planning for systems without drift. A canonical example of parallel parking of a unicycle with constant linear velocity is provided in this paper to demonstrate our algorithm.
